CLOTHING STORES

ARLINGTON

FAIRFAX COUNTY

Fashion Exchange
Tucked away in the back of an old strip mall in the older section of McLean is Fashion Exchange. And though the worn building isn’t welcoming, don’t let that dissuade you, because you’ll miss out on amazing bargains. On our jaunt to the store, we found an authentic Louis Vuitton for $300, plus designer brands set off in sections for easy shopping: Missoni, St. John Couture, Prada, Marc Jacobs, and more. The racks carry more of the everyday designers (BCBG, Ugg, 14th & Union, White House Black Market). 6663 Old Dominion Dr., McLean

N’Used
Stop in this warehouse consignment shop just to get some love from resident dogs Huey and Bean. Huey will even hang with you as you go through the massive space filled with pieces from Coach, Kate Spade, Marc Jacobs, and more: all laid out in vignettes to make perusing easier. 284 Sunset Park Dr., Herndon

New to You
This store is streamlined and all about business. The glass case holds J. Lieber purses and Tiffany’s jewelry, and the racks are filled with designer brands like Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Coach. A display of shoes can be found at the front, showcased as any other store would. But the real high-end pieces are encased in a glass bookcase. 108 W. Broad St., Falls Church

HOME STORES

ALEXANDRIA

Acme Mid-Century + Modern
Acme provides one-of-a-kind furniture selections with Dutch and Scandinavian influences. Period pieces are given a modern spin for a truly unique design you won’t find anywhere else in NoVA.

Look no further than King Street for unique drinkware to make a statement at your next dinner party. The Hour Shop boasts more than 10,000 vintage cocktail-related items in store from decades dating as far back as the 1800s. 1015 King St., Alexandria

FAIRFAX COUNTY

Stylish Patina
Not everything in Stylish Patina’s two locations fits into the vintage category, but that’s what’s at the heart of this business is old furnishings getting revamped into pieces that fit the modern home. 450 W. Broad St., Ste. 120A, Falls Church

LOUDOUN COUNTY

It’s Bazaar on 21st Street
Just like at any bazaar, you’ll find a selection of antique home goods, as well as a small array of men’s and women’s clothing. Notable clothing on a recent trip included a vintage Dior men’s suit. 143 N. 21st St., Purcellville

Eisenhower Consignment
Eisenhower Consignment specially curates premier pre-owned home decor and luxury furnishings. Artisan tables, chairs, and statement pieces make up the artfully eclectic furniture boutique. 4926-C Eisenhower Ave., Alexandria

On a Whim, Rust & Feathers and The Hummingbird’s Nest
On a Whim is placed in a trifecta of home decor shopping along with Rust & Feathers and The Hummingbird’s Nest, all of which carry antiques and salvaged goods. As you drive north on Route 15 into Lucketts, you can’t miss the pink polka-dot silo on the right. That is On a Whim, where the relocated Weathered Elegance  also resides, and it shares a parking lot with two other home stores. If you can’t find a piece to come home with, from the as-they-are items and repurposed pieces to On a Whim’s DIY yard, you’re not looking hard enough. 14928 James Monroe Hwy., Leesburg; 14920 James Monroe Hwy., Leesburg

Re-Love It
Department store clothing on consignment, with racks organized by store and/or brand, is how Re-Love It is set up. The store also has three floors of china, paintings, and furniture. Be sure to visit the furniture cellar for larger furniture finds. 138 N. 21st St., Purcellville

The Cottage
Tucked just off the main drag in Leesburg is this 12-room store filled with vintage finds and home accessories. The furniture The Cottage carries is in great condition due to refurbishing and painting. 42410 Stumptown Rd., Leesburg

The Old Lucketts Store
People travel to hit up the great finds at Old Lucketts Store. With a large selection of antique and new home goods in the store and a bevy of outdoor pieces on the wraparound porch, you can spend the entire day deciding on all of the finds to be had. Be sure to look through the sheds for discounted furniture and decor as well as the Design House, which updates monthly. 42350 Lucketts Rd., Leesburg

Vintage Magnolia
Unique finds are scattered throughout this long rectangular shop that houses more than 50 vendors selling antique home goods as well as brand-new items. There is a sizable stock of wine barrels, clocks, and doors, and a small selection of jewelry and homemade soaps. 19487 James Monroe Hwy., Leesburg
